Lesedi Project Wiki

  • This wiki is for construction of a spectrograph on the 1-m Lesedi telescope in Sutherland. We anticipate future wikis for the user manual and for technical support.
  • The SAAO and LJMU (Liverpool John Moores University) are collaborating on the project.
  • The instrument is based on SPRAT (Spectrograph for Rapid Acquisition of Transients), which is currently operating robotically on the 2-m Liverpool Telescope on La Palma.
